Annotation. The presented article is devoted to the study of the use of national dances in the suites of eminent composer, public figure, professor Said Rustamov. During the investigation, it became known that the composer Said Rustamov is the author of several interesting suites for the orchestra of folk instruments. In his "Azerbaijan", "Dance" and "Third" suites all scenes were based on national dance intonations. In these scenes, we came across to the intonations of national dances such as "Terakama", "Uzundera", "Darchini", "Azerbaijan", "Gızılgül" and others. In his suites, the composer managed to professionally combine the elements of national dance with the classical suite form and suite structure. In the suites, the vivid life events, lyrical feelings, the glory of the motherland were represented through dances. Adhering to the classical suite genre, the composer created a close unity of this genre with national musical folklore. In order to make the suites colorful, while repeating the themes, he assigned them sometimes to a group of instruments, and sometimes to individual instruments, and the group of instruments confronts each other and formed dialogues. Thus, we come to the conclusion that Said Rustamov is the author of several interesting suites for the orchestra of folk instruments. In these suites, the composer adhered to the classical suite genre and managed to create a close unity of this genre with national musical folklore. Said Rustamov's suites for orchestra of folk instruments remain relevant in our modern times and are included in educational programs and concert repertoire.
